On Sunday, your pond was completely ice-covered.
Monday was a lovely, moist evening… but there was still some ice on your pond, so I understand why you stayed underground.
Tuesday, the ice was completely gone! We put some sticks in the pond on which to attach your eggs. Some of your Wood Frog and Spring Peeper buddies have already been checking it out.
We may have a warm rain tonight or tomorrow. So… You are invited to an orgy! Hope to see you there!
Wishing you luck with your Salamander “Sandals” project! I hope you get a lot of visitors.
Jennifer — whether you realize it or not, this post is very much a work of poetry! Good Luck with the Salamanders — and now that I have rejust re-read your post, I will wish the salamanders Good Luck, too!
And if the salamander sees his shadow?
You forgot the PS: Don’t forget to bring the pizza and beer.
